JoAnn LaVassar-Frazier Obituary (1940

JoAnn LaVassar-Frazier long time resident of Easton and life companion to Lee Frazier (deceased 2018) passed away peacefully Sunday morning October 18, 2020. JoAnn Marie Stewart was born in Seattle on July 9, 1940 to Bruce J. and Marie E. Stewart. She grew up in the Lake City area and attended Roosevelt High. As a young single working mother of two boys, JoAnn was the Office Manager and Bookkeeper of Stewart Industries in Ballard. In 1971 JoAnn met Lee Frazier on a blind date and together, with her boys, they became family. Every holiday weekend was spent camping and dirt bike riding with Jo Ann holding down the campsite while Lee and boys spent the days riding the hills and trails always returning to camp for "Jos" home cooked meals and nightly camp fires. JoAnn would say that she really had three boys with Lee being the ringleader. Fun on fun and laughs a plenty! JoAnn went on to support Lee in the business, RV Town, as bookkeeper and "Mom" to all the locals whos first job was at RV Town. After retirement, JoAnn and Lee spent their summers at their perfect quaint and secluded cabin on Whidbey Island while taking in the beauty and feasting on fresh caught crab. Her interests included cooking, baking, knitting, thrift shop, garage sale, and craft fair hunting. Not one to go "half in", she arguably acquired every cooking, baking tool, and cookbook available. She had an affinity for "Life is Good" clothing (may have owned them all) and a ferocious curiosity for EVERTHING!! We will all miss her questions. Of all her history and accomplishments, her greatest achievement in life is that she raised two sons both of whom went on to become family men, business leaders, and responsible citizens. She was determined that "you will not grow up to be juvenile delinquents" and she made sure of it. Thank you, Mom. JoAnn is survived by her and Lees loved ones. Children: Wayne (Karolyn) LaVassar of Manhattan Beach, California: Bruce (Tina) LaVassar of Nampa, Idaho: Todd (Vicky) Kelley of Anchorage, and Teresa Long of Las Vegas. She is also survived by her brother Ric Stewart and her sister Bonnie Stewart both of Sultan. Grandchildren: Lucas, Wren, Jess, Mike, Brandon, Gina, and Amanda; and great granddaughter Avery. She is also survived by her close and special friends Myrna, Violet, Marlene, Randy, Leslie, Marion, and others including her cherished parrot Pepper.
